2-Fluoroadenine (F-Ade) is a metabolite of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-2-fluoroadenine (F-ara-A) that may be involved in the development of toxic side effects from this anticancer drug. The liberation of F-Ade from F-ara-A has been examined in different biological systems. Extracts of Escherichia coli
A gene-directed enzyme pro-drug therapy (GDEPT) based on purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), that converts the prodrug, fludarabine to 2-fluoroadenine, has been described, but studies are limited compared with other GDEPTs. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo efficacies of
Carbocyclic and acyclic nucleosides possessing 2-fluoroadenine, such as 2-fluoronoraristeromycin (6) and 2-fluoro-9-[(2S,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-butyl-1-yl]adenine (8), were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against human and Plasmodium falciparum recombinant SAH hydrolase were investigated.

The production of isotopically labeled RNA remains critical to current NMR structural studies. One approach to obtain simple NMR spectra is to label with a nucleus that is not naturally occurring in RNA. Fluorine-19 can serve as a sensitive site-specific

Murine P388 cells incubated in vitro with the anticancer drug arabinosyl 2-fluoroadenine accumulate its 5'-triphosphate, F-araATP, as the major phosphorylated metabolite. A new chromatographically separate metabolite that accumulated to levels 10% of that of F-araATP was identified as 2-fluoro-ATP, by
